Preventation is key

How to prevent Gum Disease

Preventation of gum disease

We find that most adults experience gum disease to some degree, and most people experience it at least once in their lifetime. If you have gum disease, your gums may bleed when you brush your teeth and you may have bad breath.

This early stage of gum disease is known as gingivitis. Gum disease is much less common in children. If gingivitis is not treated, a condition called periodontitis can develop.

Periodontitis affects the tissues that support teeth and hold them in place. If periodontitis is not treated, the bone in your jaw may be damaged and small spaces can open up between the gum and teeth. Your teeth can become loose and may eventually fall out.

If you are experiencing any of these symptoms please give us a call today on 028 7963 2495

ORAL CANCER

Oral cancer is an extremely serious disease

Oral cancer is an extremely serious disease that manifests itself in various ways. Our dentists are highly trained to recognise these signs and symptoms, and with regular dental checkups every six months the likelihood of catching oral cancer in time is dramatically higher.

The most common symptoms of mouth cancer

Sore mouth ulcers that do not heal within several weeks

Unexplained, persistent lumps in the mouth that do not go

Unexplained, persistent lumps in the lymph glands in the neck that do not go away

Other symptoms may include:

  • Pain or difficulty swallowing (dysphagia)
  • Changes in your voice or problems with speech
  • Unintentional weight loss
  • Bleeding or numbness in the mouth
  • 1 or more teeth that becomes loose for no obvious reason, or a tooth socket that does not heal after a tooth is removed (extraction)
  • Difficulty moving your jaw
  • Red or white patches on the lining of your mouth. These are common and are rarely a sign of cancer, but they can sometimes turn into cancer, so it's worth seeing a doctor if you have them

STOP DECAY IN IT'S TRACKS

Gentle Touch Dental Implant Clinic offers custom-made white fillings that match tooth colour for more natural looking results. The white fillings are safer, more aesthetically pleasing and look and feel more natural.

Decay can often lead to losing teeth and many of us would be embarrassed if we were missing one or more front teeth and we would leap into action to fix the situation as soon as possible.

But what about losing back teeth?

Unfortunately, most people don’t give it a second thought when they lose a back tooth, even though it can cause very serious problems. In fact, losing a back tooth can eventually lead to losing more back teeth which can then result in drifting teeth, gum disease, fractured fillings and even headaches and changes in speech.

We believe prevention is key and Gentle Touch Dental Implant Studio can replace your missing back teeth and help you keep the rest of your teeth for years to come.
